我们记录和分析了1968- 1997年期间美国工人流动性的高水平和大幅增加，在不同层次的职业和行业聚集。这一点很重要，因为最近的研究结果表明，工人的人力资本主要是职业或行业特有的。为了控制职业和行业编码中的测量误差，我们开发了一种利用PSID追溯职业-行业补充数据文件的方法。我们强调我们的研究结果对于理解一些问题的重要性，例如工资不平等，总生产率，工作稳定性和生命周期收入概况的变化。
We document and analyze the high level and the substantial increase in worker mobility in the United States over the 1968-97 period at various levels of occupational and industry aggregation. This is important in light of the recent findings that human capital of workers is largely occupation- or industry-specific. To control for measurement error in occupation and industry coding, we develop a method that utilizes the PSID Retrospective Occupation-Industry Supplemental Data Files. We emphasize the importance of our findings for understanding a number of issues such as the changes in wage inequality, aggregate productivity, job stability, and life-cycle earnings profiles.
